BrightEye, what kind of withdrawal symptoms do you get? mood change or headache? I am also scared to taper off antidepressant - Drugs.

i am planning to do that before October.

not many Nigerians are aware that the ogoni cleanup exercise was nothing but a big scam to get media and Niger Delta attention, after all the media hype nothing on ground. but for me and very few Nigerians knows from the beginning that it's nothing but a political gimmicks to score a very cheap political point and Nigerians sympathy.

this government keep on ditching deferent promises here are there without any plans or motive of achieving any if them






to be continue battery low.

I didn't heard from you NayaNdupu reasons I didn't call, today is the day I will be going to the eye clinic.

Dexter247, how much is Gionee m5 and how many hours can it run on 3G! hotspot?

the Airtel browsing use to be good. but right now its not something to be proud of. its now terribly bad. exit might be the next plan as I enjoy Etisalat network before it exhausted.

Brainbox101:
ITEL 1702 My humble suggestion.. specs here. www.naijainformation.com/2016/01/itel-it1702-price-full-features-and.html?m=1

thanks but the spec is too poor and outdated. the battery at 3000mAh is a turn off. thanks anyway.

papadjaji:
U sure say ur head correct so?
Its not a must to make comments. Just ignore if your brain can't carry the idea.

I am not sure you head I'd correct. I said don't quote me again.

majour:
Dude this is not the time to throw insults, I gave this info out to help the masses as I believe every youth here is liable to a better and fairly treated deals, we tend to speak change in our country and we curse our generations with our acts, so thanx but no thanx

you don't need to quote me and don't do that next time, I don't need ur thanks.

how can you be so foolish to get 4G for 1k?

you guys make this scam still works. as long as people still fall on this. the more they continue.

my phone and power bank is being overstretched beyond their limits daily due to the recent epileptic power outage from the electricity company in Nigeria. ( my area)

before now I don't know what is Called going offline just because of power outage as my power bank is a standby. but now the power outage is terribly bad to the extent the last time I saw electricity is running into 2 days. and the sad part is even when there is power it's not always sufficient to charge my power bank to full.

note: before I bought my power bank I used to burnt fuel to power my generator daily in the name of charging my phone. and since I started using power bank, I now find it difficult to burnt fuel to charge phone. the power bank is 100% economical and preferable.

I also find out that 3G is what is draining my battery really fast and 2G cannot run my Mozilla or UC Browser.

Example is if I connect my phone with hotspot to the other, the battery for the WiFi user last very well in detriment to the 3G hotspot user. the one ON Hotspot drain down so fast and goes offline.

I am making up a new plan to instead buy a new phone with a mighty killer battery that can run the 3G hotspot 24hours while I use my other phone for WiFi only and with my power bank to support the WiFi only phone it will be a 24hours standby till the next power outage.

i will need a phone that can run 24 hours on 3G Hotspot only. a good stable internet connectivity and a quality camera.

1. Biggest Battery, ( To run 3G Hotspot connection only 24hours without blinking )

2. Stable Internet Connection, ( my reasons for this is that one of my phone by injoo the network is more stable than my other phone )

3. Quality Camera, ( I don't have good camera phone at the moment which is embarrassing, so next phone must )

4. Ram, ( I find out that the bigger the ram the more stable and flexible the phone operation and internet download Speed )

that all I need and the phone can be anything from 4 inch to 7 inch. and lastly it must be android.


any open suggestions is highly appreciated. thank you all.

king root is turning on my accessibility.

gsparks01:
It's Google play that's showing that warning. I guess it's because kingroot is not on play store. I got the same warning today, I simply force closed play store

does your kingroot keep running on the background? how do you manage to stop it from running every time?

my battery has been a sucker of lately. each time I turn kingroot off. it can restarting itself to run on the background. its auto. it does whatever it likes. I have been figuring out what to do as I am tired. but today see what my phone say.

screenshot. what do you suggest I do

there are many apps claiming to be fast charge. but with my knowledge in technology. a fast charging should be hardware and battery. the battery itself should be responsible for the fast charge. the chemical and electron component that made up the battery should be fast or flash charge enabled before anything. it would have been better if we start seeing batteries that is flash charge or fast charge than mobile apps.

....when we told them that pegging the naira against dollars will not work. they said we don't know economics. a country economics that is run by capitalists system. a private own economics don't need government interference.

there is one more thing they need to do if they want these whole thing to work and to allow the naire to appreciate more is to tell the Nigeria banks to start paying customers in the said currency for foreign remittance. I have been saying it and will keep saying it.

how inflation raises when bank stop paying in the said currency for foreign remittance. when the Forrest is monopolize it can't get any better.

what government need to do after allowing banks to pay recipient in the said foreign currency from international transfer money gram, western union e.t.c.

is put 100% taxes for none imported list. things that we can produce here shot not be directly ban but to put 100% tax. and therefore tighten our custom to do their work properly in borders, airport and sea ports

this will discouraged importation as local produce will be cheaper.

otherwise the gap against dollars and naira will worsen. take it or leave it.

I will buy.

Well, if you want to be pedantic about proper unit abbreviations, then "mah" doesn't mean anything. But "mAh" with a capital A is an abbreviation for "milliampere hour." This is a unit of electric charge , and it's the most common way to express the capacity of small batteries. (Bigger batteries are labeled in ampere hours; 1 Ah = 1000 mAh.) You can calculate the capacity of a battery by multiplying the discharge current by the duration of time that the battery can supply that much current.

Very roughly , a 1000 mAh battery can supply 1000 mAh for one hour, or 100 mAh for ten hours, or 10 mAh for 100 hours, but this is a simplification since the capacity of the battery depends on the discharge rate. (How much it changes depends on the type of battery.) So a rating of 1000 mAh is actually an incomplete description of the battery's capacity for a phone unless you also know the corresponding discharge rate.

Ampere
It’s a battery health app that detects the charge and discharge rate for an Android device. It will also give you an overview of your battery and for a small price you can disable the in-app ads and at the same time unlock the notification bar feature. The app does not require your device to be rooted.

Install Ampere and launch it. It takes ten seconds to detect the information for your device. The information you get tells you the current temperature of your device, the voltage input it’s getting from the power source and the number of mA (milliamps) it is receiving or losing.

It can also detect if the device is charging too fast or too slowly which helps determine if something is wrong with your data cable or if the device isn’t getting enough charge from a wall socket or a laptop.

https://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Ampere_discharge.png

The app’s pro version adds a customizable notification that tells you the current state of the charge or discharge when you pull down the notification bar. Before you install the app read it’s description where the developers have provided a list of known devices that it doesn’t work on due to hardware limitations. Ampere requires Android 4.3 and above.

I went to smartphone market yesterday to see if I can get a 5000mAh replacement battery for my 7 inch tab.

my tab has a non removable 3000mAh battery by it manufacturer and I wanted to custom replace the battery with a more bigger battery of 5000mAh or more.

when I uncase the tab. the battery has a two wire. one is red and the other is black. these wired were soldered to the phone panel. and the battery itself was glued to the body as it will prevent it from shaking inside. been the fact I am good in technician I don't see this to be a problem for me to do or achieve. I only want my custom made tab to be juicy sufficient enough for long lasting surfing.


yesterday the only non removable & replacement bigger battery I could find is tag at 3800 mAh. although the guy said both fixing is N4000. but i was not satisfied with the battery power outage at 3800mAh. my concerns was that there won't be much different from the original one which is 3000mAh.

and another thing is that my original battery is bigger in size dimension than it. although the guy said it's not by big in size that the battery will definitely perform more than my original one.

another fear is that the battery might not be 3800 which it claimed to be. the manufacturer can easily manipulate it by written 3.7 v 3800mAh and the capacity might just be 2000mAh. don't ever trust the Chinese.

if only my original battery could last me there wouldn't have been a need to custom made the battery.

Before You Buy The Next Phone.

before buying a phone you shouldn't look only for phone with bigger mAh. but rather look for it discharge rate. battery usage is calculated by discharging rate.

Well, if you want to be pedantic about proper unit abbreviations, then "mah" doesn't mean anything. But "mAh" with a capital A is an abbreviation for "milliampere hour." This is a unit of electric charge , and it's the most common way to express the capacity of small batteries. (Bigger batteries are labeled in ampere hours; 1 Ah = 1000 mAh.) You can calculate the capacity of a battery by multiplying the discharge current by the duration of time that the battery can supply that much current.

Very roughly , a 1000 mAh battery can supply 1000 mAh for one hour, or 100 mAh for ten hours, or 10 mAh for 100 hours, but this is a simplification since the capacity of the battery depends on the discharge rate. (How much it changes depends on the type of battery.) So a rating of 1000 mAh is actually an incomplete description of the battery's capacity for a phone unless you also know the corresponding discharge rate.


mAh merely stands for milli amps per hour which tells the capacity of battery. 5000 mAh can store more energy than 4200mAh battery and 6000mAh can store more energy than 5000mAh battery.

You really need to consider two things when changing smartphone battery:

1. mAh: mAh has to be original and not fake. How much current your battery can pump out should be known. If your new battery has low mAh than old battery then it will lose its energy very quickly than your old battery.

2. Voltage:
This is an another factor you need to take a look. Voltage should be same as that of old battery. If you choose low volt battery than old battery has then it will not have enough potential to move up electrons ( charge ) to lit up the device. Also your charger will blow your battery because that adapter has more voltage rating than your new one.

If you choose battery with high rating than old one, then your adapter will feel difficult to charge up your battery or it may not charge your battery. Battery will damage the phone since it has the capacity to bear rated voltage not the new( high) voltage that comes from your new battery.

So choose same voltage as well.
So check twice or thrice the rating voltage and current before use it. If all conditions are satisfied, it has an eligibility to be used in your smartphone.

CanadianBigBoy:
Absolutely not true. I cleared my WAEC with 8A1s and 1B2 in Further Math.

I graduated from UBC electrical engineering program with almost a perfect GPA, an equivalent of 3.98/4.00. I achieved a 4.0/4.0 in my MASc also in electrical engineering.

I scored a 750 on the GMAT at one sitting and now heading to the Wharton School of Business on an almost full scholarship.

Look, I read more than anyone I know. I studied very hard in high school in Nigeria and won gold medal at the national science olympiad in Abuja.

I studied even harder in college while partying even harder and graduated at the top of my class, breaking the university record as the highest GPA holder ever.

Yet, I'm not mad. If I'm not mad, then reading certainly doesn't make someone mad. I've read almost all popular books in the world and studied so freaking hard as a college student, while banging lotta girls in the process!

I'm living the global academic, intellectual, and financial dream homie!

You can too if you work harder!

reading too much create more room for imaginations and thinking. you ask you brain questions and try to figure out the scene. and sometimes multitasking. remember everybody are not the same. there is a level in which every individual brain can handle stress and depressions. using the brain burns out serotonin. if you burns out serotonin more than the brains produce it can lead to madness. just lie the sperm in which one releases during organ takes many weeks to be replaced.

so as brain chemical. brains burns out many chemicals when over used. and it takes the brain roughly 6 months to 1 year to replaced each chemicals that it burns out.

Current Treatment for Depression:

Treatment for depression frequently involves two programs, one using antidepressant medication and the other repairing the damage done by months of "garbage". In all current research, the best way to recover from a severe depression is using both methods.

Medication Treatment: Remember the automobile example, being several quarts low after running too hot for too long. Depression is treated medically in a similar manner - we add a few quarts of oil until the fluid level (Serotonin) is normal. In depression, we use antidepressant medication to "add" the brain's oil, in most cases, Serotonin. An antidepressant medication slowly increases the Serotonin in the brain. Prozac, Zoloft, and the newest "Paxil" are antidepressants especially made for this purpose. They form a new class of antidepressant medications, SSRI's, or (ready for this?) Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI).

As in the automobile, as your "oil" level goes up, your symptoms go down. Most antidepressant medications require at least four to six weeks to increase the serotonin level significantly although you'll notice improvements after the first week. Antidepressant medications, the SSRI's for example, often stop crying spells in five to seven days and stop the "garbage truck" in five to ten days.

Psychological Treatment: Psychologists and other therapists work with you to repair the damage done by the "garbage", helping you sort out reality from what your brain has fed you over the past many months. Many people feel going to a psychologist or therapist involves laying on a couch and talking about your toilet training during childhood - Nonsense! Modern psychologists are experts in not only brain chemistry, but how to repair "thinking" damage and rebuild/reconstruct your confidence. The combination of medication and therapy is extremely effective.

Usually, successful treatment for severe depression involves both medication and therapy/counseling. With both, you can expect normal sleep to return first, followed by a slowing of mind speed and the garbage truck leaving.
Some General Thoughts:

1. Depression is the most common mental health problem treated by modern psychologists and psychiatrists. In most cases, hospitalization is not required unless you have waited until you have active suicidal thoughts.

2. If you are depressed, expect your brain to be filled with mental garbage - get ready for it! During this time, do not take action on those garbage thoughts and make no major changes in your life. It's best to wait until the garbage truck leaves before making decisions that will or may change our life.

3. Depression has been researched by physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, scientists, and others. Listen to the advice of your professionals who study depression - not your neighbors or your aunt Gladys. If placed on medication, you may be told "Don't take that Dope!". Remember, the people giving you advice don't have a 200 mile-per-hour garbage truck following them! Stick with professional opinion. Depression is a chemical problem, not caused by demons, devils, poor eating habits, a new moon, or other old-wives tales.

4. You may have other symptoms with your depression, such as severe anxiety or agitation (pacing, no sleep at all, "hyper", etc.). That only means another neurochemical has kicked in. In these cases, a psychiatrist can best select the medication for the combination of anxiety and depression.

5. When you are depressed, those who love you will become a pain-in-the-butt. They will "bug" you constantly, trying to cheer you up, giving you advice ("snap out of it" is most common), and trying to be by your side. Children will become shadows when their mother is depressed, almost protecting Mom. Be prepared for this.

6. During depression, remember that your brain goes on a bad-memory hunt, looking for old memories to torture you. Be prepared to relive or re-feel old hurts, old doubts, old guilt, and old sorrows. Be curious about what memory files the brain selects rather than focus on those memories. You can expect your brain to constantly replay the video tape (your "worst hits" tape) of your life. You'll feel guilty for things you did as a child, mistakes you made ten years ago, etc. You'll live in the past as long as the depression remains. It may interest you to know that as the serotonin level increases, the "past" returns to the past as a memory - not a torture.

7. As your brain tortures you, it may "lock on" horrible thoughts. You may feel you have a terminal disease. You may become preoccupied with guns, evil thoughts, etc. Often, individuals feel they are somehow contaminated by a killer disease, fearing they will pass it to their family. One husband brought his wife in for treatment when she began fixing breakfast in a surgical mask and rubber gloves! One man sought treatment at the office after nailing his closet door shut with 148 nails - his brain became preoccupied with the shotgun in that closet, telling him to kill his family and then himself.
In other depressed situations, people become obsessed with other issues, almost always "the road not taken". Often viewed as mid-life crisis, a straight-laced businessman now wants a Harley and a tattoo while another individual begins suddenly thinking about a past sweetheart. In almost all of these situations, the individual acts totally out of character.

8. All depressed folks look for escapes. Common methods of trying to escape depression are excessive alcohol use, drugs, sexual relationships, changing jobs, etc. A lot of good marriages are lost during these times as the spouse of the depressed partner hears "I've got to have space" or "I've got to get away and find myself!" You'll find these escapes don't work. These methods only complicate your depression and your recovery. Best bet - don't make changes, just get to a professional.

You'll know your Serotonin level is low (and depression is here) by the following symptoms:

1. Most depressed folks experience early morning awakening, usually around 4:00 am (farmers are exempted). Serotonin, you see, controls our sleep cycle.

2. Concentration and attention will drop. Depressed children/students will experience a drop in grades. You'll start putting odd things in the refrigerator (a bowling ball is the office record!), forget why you went to the grocery, and become very forgetful and scatterbrained at work/home.

3. You'll lose physical energy. You can sleep for ten hours and you'll still be bone tired. You will cry at the drop of a hat - driving down the highway, doing dishes, sitting at work, etc.

4. Sexual interest, appetite, and general interest will rapidly drop. You will stop answering the phone, stop visiting friends/relatives, and pull the blinds.

5. Most dangerous - your mind speed will increase. Your mind will race at what seems like 200 miles per hour. Depressed people often tell their doctor "I can't get my mind to stop!" The minute you wake up in the morning - it will start up. Your brain will then turn against you. It will reach in your memory and pull out every bad memory it can find - abuse as a child, failed relationships, etc. - anything to make you feel bad and especially guilty. You will be tortured by your own thoughts.

6. As your mind speed picks up, the "garbage truck" will arrive. While the brain is already torturing you with the past, it will create/invent new ideas/thoughts to torture you. In every case of depression, if the depression stays long enough, you will receive the same "garbage" thoughts from your mind. You will be told:
- you are a burden to your family/friends
- you have failed/disappointed your family
- no one really cares about you
- your children would be better raised by someone else
- your family would be better off without you
- your spouse would be better off without you
- you are going crazy and there's no hope
- it would be better if you weren't around
- you would be better off dead
- you should probably kill yourself
If you're depressed - then you already know about the garbage truck. It's almost impossible to explain this part, and the excessive mind speed, to someone who has never been seriously depressed. If your depression goes untreated, this constant "garbage" will totally destroy your self-confidence. Try as you may, you will be unable to control this part of depression.

7. As part of the "garbage truck", your mind will try to make you as uncomfortable as possible. You may be flooded with thoughts of violence (against yourself and others), you'll think you are condemned by God, or you'll think you deserve this condition for some reason. Your garbage will also tell you that if you seek professional help (physician, psychologist, psychiatrist, etc.) that you'll be committed to an institution forever.

8. When depressed, your brain begins running a mental "video tape" of your worst hits/experiences. If married, a mental tape of the marriage is played daily, only focusing on the worst experiences. If you are young, you will suddenly become preoccupied with your upbringing, who got the best gym shoes, the favorite child, the car you never received. Frequent if not constant thoughts and preoccupations about past problems and issues is a common sign of depression.

In short, depression is a neurochemical reaction to severe and prolonged stress, either suddenly surfacing or gradually creeping up on you over a period of many months. The treatment for this dark cloud is much easier than you think.

DEPRESSION

Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment by
Joseph M. Carver, Ph.D., Psychologist

Introduction:

Depression is perhaps the most common of all mental health problems, currently felt to affect one in every four adults to some degree.

Depression is a problem with mood/feeling in which the mood is described as sad, feeling down in the dumps, being blue, or feeling low. While the depressed mood is present, evidence is also present which reflects the neurochemical or "brain chemistry" aspects of depression with the depressed individual experiencing poor concentration/attention, loss of energy, accelerated thought/worry, sleep/appetite disturbance, and other physical manifestations. When this diagnosis is present, the individual will exhibit at least five of the following symptoms during the depressive periods:


- Depressed mood, most of the day or every day
- Markedly diminished interest in all or almost all activities
- Significant weight loss or gain or appetite disturbance
- Insomnia or excessive sleeping
- Psychomotor agitation or retardation (restlessness)
- Low energy level or chronic tiredness
- Feelings of inadequacy, loss of self-esteem, and/or self-deprecation
- Decreased attention, concentration, or ability to think clearly
- Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide, an expressed desire to be dead

Causes of Depression:
Depression can occur under many circumstances but most commonly is present in these two situations:

Sudden Severe Loss In this situation, the individual has experienced a sudden, perhaps surprising severe loss. This loss may be the death of a loved one, loss of a job, loss of friendship, or other grief process. In this type of depression, the patient can clearly identify what is creating the depressed mood.

Long-term High Stress Level In this situation, the patient is depressed but can't quite put their finger on the cause, the "I'm depressed but I don't know why" condition. Imagine running a video tape of your life, reviewing the past 18 months. Look at the stress you've been under, the amount of responsibility, the number of pressures, and the number of hassles. In actual clinical practice, this cause of depression is seen more often than sudden loss. This type of depression creeps up on you. When this type of depression is experienced, the patient offers comments such as: "I don't know what's wrong!" "I don't know how I feel." "My feelings are numb."

Brain Chemistry and Depression:
The human brain operates, much like your automobile, on fluids called neurotransmitters. Just as your automobile has brake fluid, antifreeze, transmission fluid, and oil - your brain runs on these neurotransmitters. Some give us energy, like those related to adrenalin, some control body movements ("dopamine" as an example), and some control mood.

The brain neurotransmitter often associated with depression is called serotonin. Serotonin is the brain's "oil", a rather slow-acting neurotransmitter that is associated with sleep, appetite, energy, alertness, and mood - just to name a few. Using the automobile as an example, if we drive our car to California at a speed of 120 mile per hour, running the engine hot for a long time, it would obviously use more oil. As long as we provided gas, however, it would continue to run. Now suppose in our trip that for every two quarts of oil we burn, we only replace one quart. By the time we reached California we'd be several quarts low and our engine would be obviously overworked and overheated.

During long-term high stress, the brain burns its' oil, serotonin, at a higher rate. The bottomline in depression and stress: The brain burns up more serotonin than it can replace! In the end result, after many months of severe stress, the brain is using serotonin faster than it can create/replace it. Your neurochemical level of serotonin drops and you become depressed.

yes it can lead to mental complications. stressing the brain too much can easily warn out some cells or brain chemical problem

....I don't think there are much different from terrorist and militant as both of them fight the state for some objective. it all boys down to what the government take them to be.. government can lebel. them any thing like criminals, saboteur, militant and terrorist. militant on the other hand can turn to violent and destruction of government installation if they feel that they cannot actualize their objective through peaceful dialogue or peace.
militant can also fight for breakaway from state be it political or whatever.

and again there is no mercy and amnesty for terrorist any where in the world. but the might be for militant.

...this is just too much for this administration.

...it clear to all that buhari is a certificateless man. this are the guys who benefited in the corrupt quota system. a corrupt man is fighting corrupt politicians. it doesn't work that way. e.g Senate president.
